Former TV investigative reporter who avoided the genes/lifestyle that destroyed her family: breast cancer: aunt, mom, sister. Everyone else had/has heart disease and diabetes. A Road Runners Club of America certified coach, she places in local 5K races, teaches healthy cooking classes and is writing, "Save Your Money, Save Your Life." Who can use this? ;)

I'm the only healthy one in my family

The only one without breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's. And more. One sister has had breast cancer twice, and after that siezures from a brain lesion. Another sister has diabetes and heart disease. Breast cancer runs on my mom's side. We were part of the original breast cancer gene studies and the gene is alive and well in our family. I've stayed healthy. If you want help, feel free to ask questions.
